The Imperial Martial Pill Venerable

Chapter 463: Chapter 462: Void Mausoleum

「Three months later.」

After arranging everything, Qin Ya, along with Luox Xinyu, Leng Qiushan, and the others, departed from Kunyun Palace. They were led by Law Enforcement Elder Xu Zhenhong on their journey to the Void Mausoleum.

The group traveled via Sky-Controlling, crossing countless mountains and rivers. After a month-long journey, they arrived at a colossal, ten-thousand-zhang-tall peak—the entrance to the Void Mausoleum.

The peak towered into the sky, piercing the heavens. Shrouded in mist and clouds, it faintly exuded a majestic aura. It stood tall and steep, like a long spear thrust upside down into the earth.

The group used their Sky-Controlling arts to reach the summit. There, they saw that the Void itself rippled like the surface of a lake, even reflecting their figures.

"This is the entrance to the Void Mausoleum?"

"The spatial vibrations here are so intense."

Xu Zhenhong nodded and explained, "This is indeed the entrance to the Void Mausoleum. Every twenty years, the Space here experiences vibrations due to the aura emanating from the Mausoleum. That’s why we’re able to enter."

"Everyone, stand back. I will open the entrance for us."

Hearing this, everyone quickly retreated. Once Qin Ya and the others were at a safe distance, Xu Zhenhong began to channel his True Essence. The aura of an Era-Defining King erupted from him, and the powerful fluctuations formed gales of wind that swept out in all directions.

Immediately after, a dazzling golden light radiated from Xu Zhenhong’s body. Contained within this light was a rich and potent Martial Arts True Intent, which coalesced into a gigantic Fist Seal. It suddenly blasted toward the lake-like Void, unleashing a torrent of ferocious energy.

The wave-like Energy Aftermath rippled outward, circle after circle. Qin Ya and the others had no choice but to circulate their True Essence to resist the impact. They were inwardly horrified. ’At our current level, we probably couldn’t even fight back against an Era-Defining King.’

BOOM...

A roar echoed from the Void, and a pitch-black hole suddenly appeared. Xu Zhenhong immediately retracted his True Essence and dispelled the Divine Light. "Quick, go in!"

Not daring to delay, the group shot forward and plunged into the black hole.

After a moment of complete darkness, a blinding light suddenly assaulted their eyes.

They found themselves high in the sky. Below them was a vast complex of palaces, clustered together in several large square formations, presenting a magnificent and grand sight.

"So this is the Void Mausoleum."

"Mm, that’s right. This is the palace complex of the Void Mausoleum."

Xu Zhenhong spoke faintly, his gaze turning to the distance. He stood quietly in the Void, seemingly waiting for something. Seeing him remain still, Qin Ya and the others weren’t anxious either and began to wait as well, taking the opportunity to observe their surroundings.

They noticed that the palace complexes were arranged in four cardinal directions, encircling a colossal tower in the center. The tower had nine stories and was a lustrous white, as if carved from a single block of white jade. It emanated a gentle, soft white light.

"Elder Xu, it’s been twenty years."

At that moment, an ethereal voice sounded. Everyone looked over to see an old man in a white robe who had appeared before Xu Zhenhong at some unknown time. He smiled amiably.

When Xu Zhenhong saw this man, a look of respect appeared on his face. He bowed slightly and said, "Twenty years have passed, yet the Tomb Guardian’s presence is as impressive as ever."

"I’m just an old man with one foot in the grave. What presence is there to speak of?" The white-robed elder shook his head with a soft chuckle. He then looked toward Qin Ya and the others. "Are these the Trialists from your Kunyun Palace this time?"

"They are."

"Mm, a fine batch of seedlings. Oh, this one is a bit interesting."

The corner of the Tomb Guardian’s mouth lifted slightly as he gave Qin Ya a deep look. He then said to Xu Zhenhong, "Elder Xu, come. Your accommodations have been prepared."

"We appreciate the trouble."

The group was led to the eastern palace complex and settled in. Xu Zhenhong then explained the situation in the Void Mausoleum in detail, and only then did they learn the old man’s identity.

The old man was actually the guardian of this Void Mausoleum, a disciple of the Void Saint. To this day, no one knows his true age.

But his Cultivation was, without a doubt, unfathomably deep.

According to the speculations of the Four Great Hidden Sects, he was at least at the Venerable Level!

No wonder Xu Zhenhong was so respectful toward an old monster of that caliber.

"A thousand years ago, in order to find an heir for the Void Saint, the Tomb Guardian sought out the Four Great Sects, who were preparing to go into seclusion at the time. He informed them of the Void Mausoleum’s existence. Ever since, every twenty years, each Sect sends its elite disciples here."

"Unfortunately, after all this time, not a single Martial Artist has managed to pass the trials left by the Saint. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve said this, but I must say it again: I hope you will all give it your utmost effort and strive to succeed."

As Xu Zhenhong spoke, he gave Qin Ya a meaningful look, his eyes filled with expectation. It was clear that on this trip to the Void Mausoleum, Qin Ya was the one he had the highest hopes for. He was also the one with the greatest chance of obtaining the inheritance.

"Heh, compared to the trials, I’m more interested in the disciples from the other three Great Sects right now. They should be in the other three palace complexes. Is anyone interested in going to have a look?" one of the young men said.

"Since Brother Feiyo is so enthusiastic, we should certainly accompany you. I’m also very interested in the people from the other three Sects. Who else wants to go?"

"Count me in."

"I’ve been wanting to meet the people from the other three Sects for a while now."

Xu Zhenhong said, "It’s fine to go and meet them. Speaking of which, I’m also quite interested in the Elders leading the other teams this time. I might even run into an old acquaintance."

Qin Ya was naturally willing to go as well. He needed to find the disciples from Lingxiao Palace, and he might even be able to learn about the whereabouts and condition of Leng Ningshuang and the others.

And so, the group headed toward the western palace complex.

According to what they knew, that was where Lingxiao Palace was staying.

BOOM...

They had just arrived at the western palace complex when they heard a tremendous roar.

Everyone exchanged glances, seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes.

"What’s going on?"

"Did the people from Lingxiao Palace get into a fight with someone? Was it the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect or Divine Sword Mountain? Heh, interesting. Let’s go inside and take a look."

"Let’s go."

Qin Ya and the others immediately rushed in, while Xu Zhenhong shot up into the sky. His grand voice instantly resounded throughout the western palace complex, "Kunyun Palace has come to visit!"

Immediately, a pillar of Flame shot into the sky, and an extreme heat filled the Void. A figure in red walked out of the Flame. "Hmph, so it’s you, old fiend Xu!"

The figure was a woman in a fiery red robe. She was tall and slender, with an exquisite and graceful figure. Her face was stunningly beautiful, and she exuded an intensely scorching aura.

She raised a delicate eyebrow, and a searing heat radiated from her body, so intense that it distorted the very light in the Void. It also caused Xu Zhenhong’s expression to change slightly.

"It’s... It’s Elder Yuee."

"It really has been a long time."

Seeing Yuee Hongyi, Xu Zhenhong’s expression turned a bit strange. He coughed twice and said, "So many years have passed, and Elder Yuee’s Cultivation has grown."

"You don’t need to tell me that. Do you think I’m like you, you old fiend? Your Cultivation hasn’t progressed at all after all these years." Yuee Hongyi mocked him without reservation. Then, with a hint of probing in her tone, she added, "Hmph, by the way, is that good-for-nothing still holed up and cowering like a coward?"
